Anti-Trump Protests Have Sprouted In Several Cities As Thousands Reject The Outcome Of Election 2016

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in several major cities across the nation in protest of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 Election. Protests in New York, Chicago, and other cities are seeing a flood of people expressing their disdain for President-Elect Trump and expressing frustration with the process that put him in line for The White House.

The New York City protest is taking the bulk of the spotlight thanks to the presence of Trump Tower, with many people congregating outside the building and chanting against Trump. According to Buzzfeed News, the protests began small early in the afternoon and grew as the group moved towards Trump Tower:

The protest, which began Wednesday afternoon when hundreds gathered at Columbus Circle, culminated in a massive march through the streets to Trump Tower, where the crowd swelled into the thousands.

“Donald Trump go away; racist, sexist, anti-gay,” the protesters shouted at Columbus Circle, across the street from Trump International Hotel & Tower. “Pussy grabs back,” some yelled. “Donald Trump is full of shit, he can’t be the president.”

if we are being completely honest if trump lost his supporters would be crying foul as well so its only right to let people express their displeasure as long as it doesnt turn violent i dont see a problem with it

They would be crying foul and venting but they wouldn’t be doing this, or talking about a “serious” secession or planning a mass exodus to Canada. Conservatives have done a lot of losing the past 10 years and none of the reactions to losses came close to this shit show.

@Whatitiz73 You’re absolutely right, conservatives never did anything like this. There were never any large Tea Party protests in 2009 for example, I must have imagined those. As for any talk of secession, it is no more or less serious than the talk of secession by conservatives in Texas, or conservatives in California drafting up plans to split the state into separate states along ideological lines.
And nobody is moving to Canada. It is insanely difficult to just pack up and get a job in a foreign country and get a residency visa on a fucking whim. Be sure to let us all know when this “mass exodus” occurs and you can provide evidence of such.

Texas wants to seceded 24/7, 365 days a year not just when things don’t go there way. The Tea party movement was a conservative movement, not an outright anti-Obama movement. No shit, obviously no one is leaving. It is a whiny bitch move that falls in line with liberal values.

Aside from some far/alt right lunatics, what SERIOUS movement did you see for civil war? Conservatives took their medicine the past 10 years and moved on. Of course there were movements for change and a return to conservative values, but there weren’t multi city protests, marches outright rejecting the election results. Those are absolute facts.

Who’s not accepting the outcome? Not being happy with it is NOT the same as “not accepting it.” It was Trump who kept suggesting that the election was rigged and he wouldn’t accept an outcome where he lost. FYI, in case all you conservatives forgot due to your selective memory issues, there were large coordinated Tea Party protests against Obama starting in February 2009, barely a month after the inauguration. Did they “not accept the outcome” either? Did they hate democracy?

“It was horrifying what he said on the debate stage tonight. Our country has been around for 240 years, and we’re a country based on laws, and we have hot, contested elections going back to the very beginning.

But one of our hallmarks has always been that we accept the outcomes of our election. We do the best we can to have free and fair elections, which we do, and somebody wins and somebody loses.”

— HRC on Trump and supporters not accepting the results of the election

“I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election if I win.”
Trump on accepting the election results. Both candidates seem to have stayed true to their word.

They have the right to protest in peace. Which they are. The Dems won the popular vote, so more people are unhappy with the result than who are happy. And as for “they should have voted” there are a lot of high school walk outs, most high schoolers cannot vote, so a peaceful protest is all they have.
